THE mega scale of Glasgow 2014 was driven home to badminton hope Jillie Cooper when she came face to face with herself.

The star, 26, is one of the Scots athletes to feature on a massive mural that now proudly features on the front of the Daily Record’s Glasgow HQ. Jillie and other prospects were photographed in the image, titled Proud to be Your Team, which was taken in the historic Lion’s Den at Stirling Castle.

It will be seen by millions of motorists who will cross the city’s Kingston Bridge as the Games approach.

The Edinburgh star said: “It’s a bit surreal to see a big image of me on the side of the Daily Record.

“It makes me realise how massive the Commonwealth Games are.

“I think it’s great that the Daily Record is throwing its weight behind the Games because it’s something the country should be proud of. The mural looks fantastic.”
